Week 8 optimal DraftKings lineup: Some big-name WRs

The Week 7 optimal DraftKings lineup was scorching hot en route to 185.82 points while easily cashing in across all contests. We’ll look to keep the ball rolling in Week 8 with another killer lineup.

Below is my optimal DraftKings lineup for Week 8’s main slate, which only features 10 games, due to yet another 9:30 a.m. London game and six teams on bye.

QB: Tyrod Taylor, Buffalo Bills ($5,200)

Taylor will not end the week as the highest-scoring quarterback, but he won’t need to in order to return value. He’s price at only $5,200 — just $200 above minimum — and he has scored at least 15 DraftKings points in six of seven games this year, meaning he should have no problem returning 3x value. He does have a nice ceiling as well. Taylor put up 28.98 DraftKings points against the Patriots at home last year. He’s one of the top DFS bargains of Week 8.
